138Wembley Area Action Plan - Proposed Submission Version16 Wembley Industrial Estates16.1 All three sites in this section fall within theSIL so there are constraints on the type of usesthat are acceptable in accordance with policy CP21of the Core Strategy and Policy 2.17 of the LondonPlan. Additionally the specific location of two of thesites gives rise to further constraints on the natureof uses acceptable. The sites do benefit from goodaccess to the North Circular Road.Second WayContext16.2 The main feature dividing the First Way siteand the Second Way site is the former railway loopwhich was constructed for the British EmpireExhibition held at Wembley in 1924 -1925 but whichhas since been partly used for wastemanagement. The site once had an importantregional and local function when major foodmanufactures were located here. Apart from lightindustry and offices occupying Metro TradingCentre, Pyramid House and the Tower BusinessPark, the rest of the area is used for open storage,depot, car parks and storage for recyclingmaterials. The site is within the area proposed asa business park.16.3 This site should continue to provide jobswhilst capitalising on the development potential ofindustrial plots. It is the Eastern Gateway to theStadium. A large proportion of people coming toWembley by car travel directly past this site, andfirst impressions are likely to be lasting. It is BrentCouncil’s aspiration to see the site transformed sothat it provides a better setting and environment forworkers and visitors. South Way was onceproposed to be straightened and widened toimprove traffic flow on event days. Howevercircumstances have changed and now only minorroad alignments are needed to return the road totwo way operation.Planning History16.4 In January 2011 planning permission(10/2367) was granted for a change of use of Unit4, Second Way, from warehouse to waste transferstation for a limited period of five years.Site W 29Second Way(10.21 hectares)The site is considered suitable for uses in linewith CP20 including offices, light industrial andhigher value general industrial, utility andtransport functions, wholesale markets, smallscale distribution and Sui Generic uses thatare closely related offices, light industry,storage and distribution, some transportrelated functions, utilities and wholesalemarkets. Given the proximity of potentialresidential uses on First Way, the site is notconsidered suitable for long term occupationby waste management uses, includingaggregate storage and transfer. The relocationof such uses to the Preferred IndustrialLocation (PIL) north and east of Fourth Waywill be encouraged. In view of the site beingwithin walking distance of the Stadium, part ofthe site is maybe appropriate as a “satellite”coach park if replacement or additional coachparking is needed. Any new coach park shouldbe used for non parking activities on non eventdays. If part of the site were to be used as acoach park then a dedicated, safe pedestrianroute to the Stadium should be created.Several short stretches of land (as shown onthe Proposals Map and in Appendix C) wouldbe required to enable the introduction of twoway traffic on South Way and wider highwayimprovements within the area.Justification16.5 This site is in a SIL and currently designatedas a Preferred Industrial Location (PIL) in theLondon Plan. The council is proposing a changeof designation to Industrial Business Park which ismore in keeping with its location adjacent to anon-industrial area of regeneration. It is alsodesignated as a business park. The proposed usesare compatible with these this designations.Drury WayContext16.6 The site, currently used as a builder'sstorage yard and depot, is located within adesignated SIL and is on a main route to the
Wembley Area Action Plan - Proposed Submission Version139Wembley Industrial Estates 16Stadium an regeneration area. To the north of thesite is the Chiltern Railway Line, Metropolitan andJubilee lines. There is a small area of open spaceto the west and is a road junction where GreatCentral Way meets Drury Way to the east of thesite. To the south of the site is Tesco super storeand Ikea.Planning History16.7 There is no relevant planning history for thissite.Site W 30Drury Way(1.21 hectares)Industrial and employment uses are suitablefor this site. Waste management will not beacceptable in this location. This site is adjacentto protected railway sidings and proposalscould make use of these railway sidings. Thesite is not within an identified flood zonehowever proposals must be accompanied bya Flood Risk Assessment as the site area isover 1ha.Justification16.8 This site is in a SIL. The council is seekingindustrial or other employment development usesfor this site. The promotion of the use of the railwaysidings is supported by the London Plan Policy 6.14which requires the protection of existing sites whichenable transfer of freight to rail or water. Wastemanagement use is inappropriate because of theenvironmental impacts on one of the main accessroutes to the Stadium and the rest of theregeneration area.Great Central WayContext16.9 The site, located east of the North CircularRoad on the corner of Great Central Way and YeatsClose, is currently vacant. It is diamond shapedand borders Great Central Way and the NorthCircular Business Park to the north east, BrentTrading Estate to the north west, allotments to thesouth west and the residential Lynton Close andYeats Close to the south east. Access to the siteis via a roundabout off Yeats Close. The site is ina Strategic Industrial Location. The western part ofthe site is of Borough (Grade II) NatureConservation Importance.Planning History16.10 In 2004, a planning application granted forthe erection of two buildings for B1, B2 and B8 use,a single large industrial unit of 3,730sqm, and asmaller 600sqm two storey building.Site W 31Great Central Way(0.96 hectares)The site is considered suitable for industrial,warehousing or other business uses, subjectto a full ecological appraisal and appropriatemitigating measures. Given the proximity ofresidential uses on Lynton Close and YeatsClose to the south east of the development,the site is not considered suitable for wastemanagement use.Justification16.11 The site is in a SIL and designated foremployment uses, but proximity to residential usesconstrains the range of uses that are appropriate.It is also on a major route to the Stadium andregeneration area.
